[QUOTE="doverpack12, post: 1256863, member: 57848"] Don't be so quick to rule out the 260. The Barnes 127 LRX shoots fantastic in my 260. I ran out of time on my load and had a dime sized group so loaded those up to hunt with and had to settle for 2850+ fps. I'm going to keep working and see if I can get another 100 fps out of the 127 and if so should be great. It worked well on a good size mature mule deer this year for me. From my experience barnes or any mono metal bullet work best when pushed as fast as possible. I for sure wouldn't want to start much below 2750 fps or so if shooting very far beyond 200 yards. If you go down in weight to get the speed they absolutely hammer animals and don't destroy meat while doing it. [/QUOTE]
